Well today was the first day back to work after receiving my EVO 3D. Of course everyone knows me and my thing for phones and they wanted to check it out. They wanted to see some YouTube videos they had been hearing about. Boy was that a joke, I couldn't even show this thing off! It won't even make it through a video without it stalling. I'm not sure what to do now, love the phone but with data that barely works, this smartphone is useless to me. I kept my EVO 4G just in case but I really want to be able to use the new phone, not sure what to do...wait on HTC or return. I really hope HTC does something fast!

Oops didn't mean to thank you lol.
Anyway my connection is just fine...I can watch youtube videos on anywhere on 3g with no problem
Are you sure it isn't sprints overloaded network that isn't failing? Mine does fine.
Not having issues but YouTube does prompt you that WiFi will be the best connection since 3D videos use the most data. You can try this alternative.

I have the same issue, I'm hoping I don't have to return it. It really growing on me, but the you tube issue bothers me.

I had the same problem. I was only gettung 25k dL speeds. I tried everything. even returned the phone for another, only to have the same problem. (at least my new one didnt have dirt trapped under the screen). I ran across a way to boost your download speeds by changing the proxy settings. Right after I did this mod it was a little better. Then I rebooted and now im getting consistant 1600k downloads in 3g.

Is possible where I live. there is no 4G. Now, At peak times it probably wont work to well, but I'm not really watching too much 3d content. I've been showing the green hornet to people, that's about it.
I really hope this is a radio issue rather than the network since the Sensation suffers from a similar issue. Speedtest results are pathetic for me (70kbps average and some rare 250kbps... Hurray!!) and coming from TMobile with speeds over 6mbps its just sad. Hope HTC addresees this soon. Glad i have wifi at home

lol, yeah you're right, but even 2d vids stall!
So I just got back from the Sprint store and they had signs up at the repair counter saying there was 3g problems. Kinda weird because the EVO 4G has no issues. Who knows, I'll wait it out longer and see if it improves, annoying though.

I removed the proxy on my evo a while ago mainly because it broke the streaming music. I also noticed a pretty nice speed increase on top of it fixing my streaming issue.
Streaming works just fine on the 3D and 3G speeds are so so not as good as my evo with proxy removed. This could just be the radio or dumb luck. Has anyone tried removing the proxy to see if it has increased speeds any? I'm thinking about trying it but figure I would ask if anyone has given it a whirl yet.
Update:
I decided to just give it a try, called sprint, got a super cool guy gave me the MSL no ?'s asked. Was on the phone no more than a min with him, I am gonna make sure to answer the survey questions for him. I love getting cool people. Anyway just removed the proxy and ran some speed tests, didn't really make much of a difference.
I'm getting between 400-800 down & 500 up average. Like I said similar results with & without the proxy at least for me. I'm just gonna leave it removed, I can't imagine having the proxy will ever help speeds in the future. It is the middle of the day so average speeds tend to be a little slower. I have pulled 1,500+ down on my evo in the same test area at times but that wasn't an average.
If anyone else wants to try I would be curious to see if it makes any difference or not since different areas can perform very differently.
Yes, confirmed faster. There's a thread about this in the development thread.
can HTC install a trackball on this thing?

oh ok. Didn't seem to have nearly the effect as it did on the evo but like I said I left it out. Plus I only did a few tests so I'm sure it will be better in the long run. A trackball would be kinda cool actually, I'm not sure where they would put it though.
Can someone post the original settings?

Never seemed to do much for me, I have my proxy settings back on.
didnt really do anything for me either.
I have been with Tmobile for 8 years now and of course I have had every Android phone they have come out with except the Cliq(daughters phone not mine) I am close to my contract end date and am trying to figure out which avenue to go.
I have three android phones on my account and I also have an Evo 4G (Work Phone).
I like my 4G because of it's coverage here where I live I can get 4G on Sprint, but My Tmob phones do not even get 3G coverage up here.
So I need some assist. do I get the HTC Sensation and stay with Tmobile or dump Tmobile and Get me a Evo 3D. I can get a Evo 3D for 125.00 I can get a discount If I switch to Sprint due to my company has about 20 phones with Sprint.
Sprint is great! Their signal depends on where you live (check the coverage map before making your mind, it plays a HUGE role in everything. I haven't kept track of T-mobile's lineup, but i must say Sprint's selection of smartphones is only getting better. I'd suggest switching to Sprint because t-mobile is possibly future AT&T and i like sprint.
But remember, make sure Sprint's signal around you is good or else i'd stick with t-mobile.

3D man, the raw specs were enough for me. The Sensation does look a little more aesthetically pleasing to me but the 1 gig of RAM and 3D capabilites (no matter how limited they are at this point), plus build quality and dedicated camera button all push it above the Sensation, imo. The only thing is 1080p recording is available on the Sensation but not the 3VO, but really it isn't a huge difference to me. I don't use video recording much either. The features which matter most are the ones YOU would use the most, so that's kind of put on what you need your phone to do/want your phone to do.
Also, the Sensation is gonna cost you more than the 3D if I'm not mistaken, so that sets it apart too.
Of course I am a bit biased, I love my 3D, but in all reality I still would've taken this over the Sensation if offered either of these gorgeous phones.
They arrived.

its because the toggle is placed between the "SYM" and "," buttons.
you will eventually train yourself not to hit it. Or you can turn on the "trace" option on HTC keyboard. I like that better.
Are these two things still an issue? I still have my e3d sitting on my desk just waiting for things to get better. When I had the phone I would drop calls, roam and people would complain abbout the call quality on the other end.
I haven't used the phone in a few weeks so I was hoping that maybe an update had dropped kinda the same way Motorola updated the photon for silent calls. Someone give me some good news

Apparently you can't read numbnuts I asked a question but by your reaction I guess I have found the answer. I love the 3d but I have a job where I can't afford to drop calls and I just wanted to know if it was fixed. Thanks for crying about it though
Sent from my MB855 using Tapatalk
Have had my 3d for about 3 weeks now and I have no issues at all with call drops or reception quality. I love everything about my 3d except that we have no aosp yet ... but we will soon =D
Call quality is absolute garbage on my phone.
I set mine to evrc-b.. sounds excellent on calls. Even better if the other caller has it on.
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using xda premium
I can understand the people on the other end..and due to our conversations i can only assume they can understand me as well...So it seems to be a non issue..But if you are looking for some sort of FLAC reception quality to enjoy a phone call you may wan't to look else where.
as for dropped calls etc... I drive all over Florida for work and can hold a signal/phone call from Jacksonville to Orlando..I do it every tuesday and friday.
Compared to the Hero I had before the 3D the call quality sux. It's the speaker. that just sounds like crap. My wife still had a Hero so I used them side by side.
The Hero sounded much clearer than the 3D at pretty much all volumes.
Also, The 3D won't go near as loud as the Hero. I use the alarms almost everyday for one thing or another. Using the same ringtone and same notification tone the Hero is easily twice as loud at the 3D.
Coming from the OG evo I can totally tell the difference, man did I love that old phone. I am just hoping it's a software issue and not poor hardware. I love my 3d and am holding onto it in hopes that a fix comes
Sent from my MB855 using Tapatalk
Its not software it is most definitely hardware..as for the volume of the external speaker,it is easily fixed multiple ways.I personally use equalizer from the market it works great.Sound quality is still crap but its louder crap and it helps so I'm happy.

It's only happened to me a couple of times. Seems to be when I'm in a dead zone for a few hours. I've been turning off mobile data when I'm in those places. Hopefully that bug is fixed with the upcoming OTA.

Ever think it has something to do with the network in your area?
Sent from my HTC Rezound via Tapatalk
I don't think so, but if it was, Well AT&T looks nice. I called tech over and over and they all said network was fine in my "area".
It could be due to useing 20-30GB every time, but I used 22GB on AT&T's unlimited plan and never had this happen.

This month I'll use over 50gb, last month 15gb and averaged about 3gb per month over the last 4 years. I'm unlimited with a hotspot. It almost seems like I'm being throttled. That's BS if that's the case since I pay about $70+ a month for Internet on two phones.

Forgot to add it usually hit speeds between 8-12gb but this month I'm seeing a lot of 3-5gb and a lot of dropped signal. Haven't had that problem before at least not like this. Curious to see what happens as soon as I start my next pay cycle.

Not sure when I noticed it but I cant figure out how to fix it. Its on almost all roms I run, could something be wrong with my phone? Might of started around the 1.22 update, but i was running PKMN at the time, and switched to MeanROM 2.1. Im now on Viper4G and the issue still there, its mainly in maps and minecraft, don't notice it in any other apps or games.
On Google Maps, the street names and sometimes location error dont appear right, they stretch as if italic font is being used and switches back, alternating streets and such. In minecraft the background, buttons, or certain objects like blocks or mountains flicker in and out.

My first EVO 4G LTE (recieved in early June) had Google Maps flickering so badly that I returned the phone! Sprint thought it was probably a hardware problem.
I took a video of it before I returned it:

The new phone has never done it.

It looks like that on mine also (Google Maps)
Edit: On second glance, some streets are twisted (so is the font) but yours looks like Italics on even the straight streets. Is that a custom font? Because:
Be careful with custom fonts too, if any apps call on Roboto.tff they can look a little unaligned. - zmag

no custom fonts, it was on both PKMN Rom, MeanROM and Viper4G. I do wonder if its a hardware issue.. i but im S-off, i would hate to loose it, just in case it ever ment anything lol
In the end it was a broken phone. Not even sprint tech knew what to do with it. I got my phone replaced but now I am not S-Off

its not all bad, you still can run custom roms and kernels and flash the majority of tweaks and updates. just not firmware but thats not much issue. Some one did notice that if you use that full back up program listed somewhere around here, you can backup first, without root, and when you restore, the stuff saying you messed with the phone is gone lol not sure about the tampered or unlocked messages though
